​About Corrective Exercise

Movement quality is an essential component to reducing the risk of injury and reaching optimal levels of performance. A reliable baseline to screen and evaluate the body mechanics is key to providing actionable and effective steps for performance and recovery.

A Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) undertakes advanced training, which allows the CES to assess the functions of the musculoskeletal system related to mobility, stability, balance, posture and functional movement, in order to provide a truly integrated conditioning program that takes place PRIOR to mainstream strength and conditioning.

Jeanette has developed her expertise by fusing her education and experience as an Orthopedic Exercise Specialist, Corrective Exercise Specialist (The BioMechanics Method) and ACE Personal Trainer to assist clients more effectively in reducing or eliminating discomfort related to a-symmetries, muscle imbalances, past and present injuries and post surgery movement issues.

The Process

A Corrective Exercise program is then developed based on the information and results obtained from the assessments

We teach the program and exercises to the client, which are performed at home and/or in the studio

The client's progress is monitored via re-assessments and the results are measured against initial assessments

The Corrective Exercise program is modified as the client demonstrates adaptation and improvement

As mobility, stability, function and symmetry are restored, the client will progress onto new exercises that challenge the mind and body in balance, strength, endurance and overall movement. A continued emphasis is placed on form, technique and safety as well as functional mobility and stability throughout the kinetic chain.

The Assessments

When you first begin working with us, you will undergo full-body Structural, Postural and Functional Movement Assessments. These include a verbal, visual and hands-on assessment of your body (feet and ankles, knees, lumbo-pelvic hip girdle, thoracic spine and shoulder girdle, and neck and head) and assessments of posture, muscle strength, joint range-of-motion and functional movement.

These non-invasive assessments help us identify musculoskeletal imbalances, postural concerns, structural deviations and mobility and stability impairment that are specific to your body and responsible for causing discomfort and/or dysfunction.
